Other nations
Some weeks ago I received the CIAFF-results. They were published on this forum (see other thread). The other nations that won an award are Switzerland, France, Germany, England (Kay Bamford-Burnell and Laurie Calvert) and Belgium.
In this message was written : the trophies and certificates are being sent by surface post because of the high cost of airmail. Jon Soika, I think the festival-secretary, wrote this message. My question : are there two different CIAFF's ?

Second place in the Amateur-Narrative category was : "Grandpa's Cinema" by Jeannick & Pierre Michel from France. I remember that film very well. It was also shown in Harrogate. I also remember that Brian Saberton and other friends enjoyed it very much. CIAFF seems to be a festival with seperate categories.
